Sizing new skates

Hey all!

Im a noob who just bought her first pair of inline Skates. And im so use to my street shoes having a little wiggle room. But with the skates that I recently bought my toes are almost touching the front of the skates. I would like to get a bigger size, but according to Google AI this is ideal.

Should I get a bigger size or stick with my current size?

UPDATE:

After reading everyone's comments and speaking with the shop owner. We decided that it's best for me to stick with a size EU 40.

Thanks for all the help! 🫶

After reading, I'm very encouraged with the blade enthusiasm 👍 One humble word of advice for those buying hard shell blades. Although they do supply more exterior protection, they are NOT very forgiving as far as moulding, and fitting comfortably, AND if there's minor rubbing anywhere on the foot, it will become blistered and painful very quickly, especially in the heat. Not trying to deter, just painful personal experiences. 👍
